A Dessert That Sparks Curiosity For dessert, we encountered a floral treat that resembled a 9 Volt battery in both appearance and electric taste. Discover the secrets of this unique Indonesian dessert that adds a sweet and refreshing note to the Rijsttafel experience.

“For dessert, we were instructed to eat what looked like a tiny yellow flower. Five seconds later, I felt like my mouth had been woken up by a lightning bolt. It made the combination of orange-blossom sorbet, mango panna cotta and forest berries all the fruitier.” amsterdamfoodie.nl
